Among computer science and software engineering
activities, software testing is a perfect candidate for the union of
academic and industrial minds. The Testing: Academic and Industrial
Conference - Practice and Research Techniques (TAIC PART) is a unique
event that strives to combine the important aspects of a software
testing conference, workshop, and retreat.

TAIC PART brings together industrialists and
academics in an environment that promotes meaningful collaboration on
the challenges of software testing. TAIC PART is sponsored by
representatives from both industry and academia. The conference brings
together software developers, end users, and academic researchers who
work on both the theory and practice of software testing.

TAIC PART 2011 is the sixth conference in a series of highly
successful events. Take a look and discover what happened at TAIC PART 2010,
TAIC PART
2009, TAIC
PART 2008, TAIC PART 2007, and TAIC PART
2006. Please consider submitting a paper and/or registering to
attend the 2011 edition of TAIC PART so that you can be part of a
premier software testing conference. Individuals with questions about
TAIC PART are encouraged to contact one of the conference organizers.

TAIC PART RATED 'OUTSTANDING'

TAIC PART 2006 and 2007 were
assessed outstanding and internationally leading in all categories by
the EPSRC, who provided significant funding to hold these
events. The criteria included research quality, planning and practice,
scientific impact, communication of output, and benefits to
society. Furthermore, EPSRC also funded TAIC PART 2008,
thus enabling the conference to generate public awareness, communicate
research findings, and provide practical advice about the challenge of
software testing. We invite you to submit a paper and participate in TAIC PART 2011 in
order to continue the strong tradition of this conference.
